Malware or not?

VirusTotal is a free online service that analyzes suspicious files and URLs to detect malware and other malicious content. It does this by using a variety of methods, including:

• Scanning the file or URL with multiple antivirus engines. VirusTotal uses over 70 different antivirus engines from around the world to scan each file or URL. This means that it is very likely to detect any known malware.
• Checking the file or URL against a database of known malicious sites. VirusTotal maintains a database of millions of known malicious websites and URLs. If the file or URL you submit matches one of these entries, it is likely to be malicious.
• Looking for suspicious behavior. VirusTotal can also look for suspicious behavior, such as trying to access sensitive files or processes. This can help to identify malware that is not yet known to antivirus engines.

Here are some of the things you can use VirusTotal for:
